Algerian boxer Imane Khelif remained in the news throughout the Olympics 2024 campaign. Labeled as a biological man by many, Khelif went on to secure a gold medal in the women’s 66kg category despite her eligibility for the competition being questioned by many. Months after the conclusion of the Paris Games, a new controversy erupted after a leaked medical report confirmed that Khelif, was in fact, a man. Even former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh reacted to the report, tagging the Olympics on social media while asking them to take the gold medal awarded to the Algerian back.

As per the leaked medal report, which French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia was able to secure, the Algerian boxer has internal testicles and XY chromosomes. The condition, as per the report, hints at a disorder called 5-alpha reductase insufficiency.

The report was said to be drafted by experts from the Kremlin-Bicetre Hospital in Paris and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine Hospital in Algiers in June 2023.
